Don't Stop St. Pete: Organizers are staging it on Small Business Saturday — the day we're all supposed to eschew the over-commercialization of Black Friday and support our local economy. You can do that at Don't Stop St. Pete — more than half of the 40 acts on the bill are from Pinellas County, including garage popsters Luxury Mane, frenetic psych-punks Sonic Graffiti, post-punk noisemakers Permanent Makeup and melodic alt-pop group Goodnight Neverland. Venues include three stages in and around Sly Bar, 2061 Central Ave., and one at the Loft, 2036 Central Ave. It kicks off at 3:15 p.m. Get a full schedule and tickets ($10 advance, $12 day-of) at dontstopstpete.com. Or, in keeping with the all-things-local spirit, get them at iClinic, 1241 First Ave. N.

Holiday

All right, now it's Christmas: Once the turkey is put away, we'll stop whining that the tree went up in Ybor last week (before Thanksgiving!) Now it's St. Petersburg's turn and Mayor Rick Kriseman flips the switch to illuminate the city's Christmas tree in North Straub Park on Friday along with live entertainment, interactive games and food. Also on Friday, more than a million twinkling lights will transform Busch Gardens in Tampa from an African-themed amusement park into a holiday wonderland known as Christmas Town. The Christmas Town festivities are Fridays and Saturdays and then every day starting the week of Dec. 20, included with admission (and you can buy your 2016 Fun Card early) at buschgardens.com. Price: $97, $92 for ages 3-9. For more holiday events, see tampabay.com/holiday.
